A set of proof quarters minted in silver is not new in itself. They are issued annually. For the first time ever, however, the five quarters in this latest set are struck in 99.9% silver instead of 90% silver.

Contents and Silver Weight of Set

The five coins of the 2019 Quarters Silver Proof Set feature reverse (tails side) designs honoring the following locations:

Lowell National Historical Park in Massachusetts

American Memorial Park in the Northern Mariana Islands

War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park in Texas

Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho

Appearing on the obverse (heads side) of each coin is the same basic portrait of George Washington by John Flanagan that has been seen on quarter dollars since 1932.

All five coins are produced at the U.S. Mint’s facility in San Francisco and are encased together in one protective lens. This set is similar to the clad version released in January (see photos of one below).

This CoinNews photo shows the coins, lens, certificate of authenticity, and packaging of the U.S. Mint’s clad 2019 ATB Quarters Proof Set which was released on Jan. 15. The set released today features the same quarters in proof quality but they are minted in 99.9% fine silver.

Above is a CoinNews photo of just the five clad 2019 America the Beautiful Proof Quarters. These coins are proof editions that launched in a collector set earlier this year. The set released today features the same quarters in proof quality but they are minted in 99.9% fine silver.

That set, which is available for $15.95, has coins with identical compositions to their circulating counterparts. The quarters in this latest set, as already discussed, are composed from 99.9% fine silver. Here are their exact specifications:
